Space War I

Vanessa was present on the bridge of the SDF-1 Macross during its launch day, which occurred on February 7, 2009.[1] She engaged in the banter after First Lieutenant Misa Hayase entered the bridge, jokingly saying she was surprised that her commanding officer was interested in men. (SDFM: "Boobytrap")

Later that day, during the calm before the battle, Vanessa reported to Captain Global that she had detected 24 additional UFOs on a descent vector to the Macross. She couldn't detect them before because the Reaction Weaponry used to intercept the first attack wave rendered their radar ineffective.
